I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1374: Chapter 531: The Wardrobe Incident! Empress of Collapse!

Sun Senior Palace Lady was stunned in place, her lips slightly parted, her face full of disbelief.

As the Empress’s close Female Officer, naturally she could recognize whose voice it was... No wonder the Empress hadn’t been seen inside or outside the palace; turns out she was hiding in the cabinet?

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Sun Senior Palace Lady cautiously transmitted her voice.

"It’s none of your business, just hurry and close the door!" The Empress’s voice trembled, seemingly mixed with a hint of tears.

"Senior Palace Lady, is there a problem?" Seeing her not moving for long, Lin Jingzhu asked.

"No, nothing." Sun Senior Palace Lady snapped back to reality, not daring to hesitate, picked up a set of brand-new bedding from the side, and hurriedly closed the cabinet door tightly, "I’ll help Miss Lin change a new set."

She carried the bedding back to the bed, her mind a tangled mess.

Judging from the raised shape of the mattress, there was not just the Empress alone in the cabinet; there was also a tall figure tightly pressed against her, clearly Chen Mo.

Considering their posture, and the strange scent inside the cabinet, could they be...

"Merely a door apart, isn’t their courage far too great?"

"Or, did they do it on purpose, for more excitement?"

"I just had to open the wardrobe, oh no, will Her Majesty silence me?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady’s cheeks turned red, her mind in chaos, and after neatly arranging the bed, she didn’t dare to stay longer. She hurriedly made her excuse and fled.

Watching the hurried retreat, Lin Jingzhu frowned and said, "Mother, doesn’t Sun Senior Palace Lady seem a bit strange today?"

Lady Jin Yun rubbed her chin, pondering, "Indeed, quite strange, as if she’s seen a ghost..."

"Given the frequent changes in the palace recently, it’s understandable to be a bit anxious." Lin Jingzhu shook her head, dismissing her thoughts, "Speaking of which, when will Aunt come back? I have urgent matters to discuss with her."

"You little girl, are you serious?" Lady Jin Yun placed her hands on her hips, irritably saying, "What nonsense about aunt and niece serving one man, that’s utterly absurd! If this gets out, how will you live?"

"Anyway, it’s no concern to me..."

"It’s a concern to me!"

...

...

In the wardrobe.

The space blurred, revealing two figures.

The Empress’s forehead was drenched with fragrant sweat, her mouth biting on a cloth, striving to stay silent.

Her creamy skin flushed from the neck to the collarbone, her whole body trembling as if shivering.

Chen Mo embraced her slender waist, smilingly saying, "Your Majesty can speak, rest assured, no one outside will hear."

"Chen Mo! You’ve gone too far!" The Empress took a breath, ashamed and furious, "You scoundrel, you did this in front of Sun Senior Palace Lady... Do you want me to live or not?"

When the cabinet door opened earlier, her heart leaped to her throat.

She thought Chen Mo wouldn’t act rashly, but unexpectedly he became even more enthusiastic!

The cabinet was only so big, so close between the Empress and Sun Senior Palace Lady, although she knew the latter couldn’t see, the intense tension left her mind blank, unexpectedly making her...

Recalling now, she wished she could die!

Sun Senior Palace Lady wasn’t a fool; she must’ve guessed something!

"What’s there to fear? They’re all our people." Chen Mo shrugged indifferently, "Besides, Your Majesty initiated it just now..."

"Don’t say it!" The Empress, shy and annoyed, just prepared to rebuke but suddenly gasped, all words turning into fragmented whimpers.

Chen Mo leaned to her ear, laughing softly, "This scene makes me think of a song."

The Empress stuttered, "What, what song?"

"Time’s Story."

"?"

...

...

Evening fell.

Chen Mo silently left Zhao Hua Palace.

As for the Empress, she was still at Xuanqing Pool washing her phoenix body.

Learning Lin Jingzhu’s outrageous plan, she didn’t know how to face it and could only choose to temporarily avoid it.

But such relationships couldn’t stay hidden forever; between a beloved man and worldly rites, a choice must be made.

However, both the Empress and Lin Jingzhu were already deeply entwined with Chen Mo, becoming an inseparable part of each other’s lives. Since separation was impossible, they could only try to accept...

In Chen Mo’s shameless view, since even the sister-in-law joined, what’s one more niece?

"I thought Zhu’er would resist, but surprisingly, it went smoothly. She must have anticipated it, given her Jianghu girl nature, such a response is normal..."

"As for the Empress side..."

"Matters of the heart can’t be rushed; she has to come around on her own."

"Even if Her Majesty agrees, Lady Jin Yun might not consent."

Chen Mo shook his head, no longer dwelling on it.

When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten; overthinking is pointless.

He walked along the palace path towards the main gate, passing Linqing Palace, where several Xuan Armor Guards held torches on patrol, the Eastern Royal Palace still tightly guarded.

Even causing such a stir, these guards didn’t take a step away.

Clearly, this situation wasn’t about protecting the Crown Prince but covering something up.

Combined with the eerie silence at Qianji Palace, with closed doors and not a single decree issued, it inevitably led to bad assumptions.

The nation cannot be without a ruler for a day.

Even if the Emperor is bedridden and unable to govern, as long as he’s breathing, the nation’s existence is assured, holding extraordinary significance for Great Yuan.
